”Heh, seems like they really can’t stand us anymore.”

”I told you something would go wrong on this bandit extermination mission. Great, Chen Weiming is using a knife to kill people, looks like he wants to take the opportunity to erase our team that’s embarrassed him. Heh, so he won’t lose face again in the future.”

”This mission plan is straightforward, ten teams, only our team goes in as the vanguard, while they watch the show from behind? Damn, Chen Weiming is truly something else.”

”Let’s go, anyway, if we see bandits and immortality cultivators, and we can’t beat them, I’ll just run. At worst, I’ll quit the city guard army and go somewhere else.”

When Qin Tian relayed Chen Weiming’s tactical arrangement to the team, Zhang Hefei and others exploded.

Everyone knows Sima Zhao’s intentions, Chen Weiming’s purpose in this arrangement is obvious, yet no one opposed it.

Qin Tian also knew, even if he raised objections, it would be useless, Chen Weiming would not pass up this excellent opportunity.

”Since the task has been assigned, we have no choice but to execute it.”

Qin Tian said, ”I’ll go with Brother Fei as the vanguard to scout the situation, Brother Jie, you cover the middle road, um, Ye Zhiyuan, you and Zhao Lanjin hold the rear, and we’ll stay in touch for any updates.”

Qin Tian thought about it and made the arrangements.

”It’s clear they want to sacrifice us, and you’re really prepared to go to your death?” Zhao Lanjin said coldly.

As soon as he spoke, everyone fixed their eyes on him.

This was the first time Zhao Lanjin had spoken to Qin Tian in days.

Qin Tian spread his hands: ”And then? Do we disobey orders? Failing to execute battlefield orders or deserting leads to the entire Wang Chao issuing a wanted notice, and if caught, it’s execution on the spot. You think I want to get myself killed...”

Zhao Lanjin walked over to Qin Tian and said, ”Then I’ll go to the front with you to scout.”

These words left Qin Tian a bit stunned.

Being on the front line to scout is the most dangerous place. If caught in an ambush, they’re easy targets for the enemy’s first wave of attacks. Qin Tian never expected Zhao Lanjin to volunteer for the most dangerous job.

”Alright then, Brother Fei, you switch with Zhao Lanjin, you and Zhiyuan take the rear.”

Qin Tian said, ”As per Chen Weiming’s orders, we head out immediately!”

The eleven-man squad quickly moved towards Nanyun Town at dusk.

This bandit extermination mission involved several problematic southern towns, and according to intelligence from the south camp, Nanyun Town was the bandit’s core gathering point. So, they decided to launch the offensive against the bandits from Nanyun Town.

Qin Tian and Zhao Lanjin walked ahead of the others, at least two miles ahead of Xie Tingjie and the rest. With just over ten miles left to reach the main road outside Nanyun Town, Qin Tian and Zhao Lanjin skirted the road to approach from the side woods.

”Why did you volunteer to be the vanguard with me? It’s very likely a deadly situation.” Qin Tian quietly asked Zhao Lanjin.

Zhao Lanjin replied, ”You’re the Centurion, you’re not afraid of death, why should I be?”

Qin Tian was taken aback, ”But... think about your wife, if something happens to you...”

”Nothing will happen to me. At least, if it’s time to go, no one will be able to stop me with the bandit’s strength.” Zhao Lanjin cut off Qin Tian.

Qin Tian thought about it, he seemed right. According to the intelligence, the highest cultivation among the bandits and demon clan immortality cultivators was merely Nascent Soul Peak, and there were supposedly only two of them.

Considering the strength Zhao Lanjin displayed in the woods that day, he was indeed unstoppable.

”There’s a sentry over there, what should we do?”

When Qin Tian and Zhao Lanjin reached a grove outside Nanyun Town, they took a vantage point and saw the situation inside the nearby town.

”First, check how many sentries there are. If we can bypass them, we should. If not, try to take them out quietly.”

Qin Tian signaled Zhao Lanjin with a glance, and the two stealthily approached.

Behind them, Xie Tingjie and the others followed the path opened by Qin Tian and Zhao Lanjin, quietly entering Nanyun Town.

Meanwhile, far behind Qin Tian’s squad, Chen Weiming and the other nine teams were watching them enter Nanyun Town.

Chen Weiming ordered everyone to halt temporarily and hide about three miles south of Nanyun Town.

Yang Bo, Chen Weiming’s most trusted Centurion, approached him and murmured, ”Sir, are you planning to use a borrowed knife to kill?”

Standing atop, Chen Weiming quietly replied, ”What do you think?”

”Heh, this squad has always been a disgrace to our team. Let the bandits finish them off, might be just as well.”

As part of Chen Weiming’s direct lineage, Yang Bo spoke bluntly, ”Then what’s the next step? If Qin Tian’s group fights the bandits, should we wait until they’ve finished before we clean up the battlefield?”

”Heh, is that all you can think of?”

With a confident smirk, Chen Weiming gave Yang Bo a sinister glare and asked, ”What if Qin Tian’s group figures out my intentions and hides after entering Nanyun Town, avoiding the bandits, what then?”

”This... I hadn’t considered...”

Faced with Chen Weiming’s counter-question, Yang Bo was momentarily speechless, ”Qin Tian’s fools shouldn’t figure out your intentions, sir, right?”

”But what if?”

”What if... if we stay put, the South Camp might seize this opportunity, and we won’t be able to account for it if we return.”

”At least you understand.”

With a wicked grin, Chen Weiming said, ”So I can’t let Qin Tian and his group hide, they have to move.”

After speaking, Chen Weiming turned his gaze to Nanyun Town in the distance and instructed, ”Yang Bo, take a few trusted subordinates, get close, and shoot a few arrows at where Qin Tian’s group is hiding. Make sure to set the arrows on fire, create a commotion, and expose Qin Tian’s position!”

”This... sir, if I do that, Qin Tian’s group will surely die...”

Upon hearing Chen Weiming, Yang Bo was stunned.

As Qin Tian’s superior, not only was Chen Weiming watching from behind, but he also planned to expose Qin Tian and his group’s position with shots from behind, leaving them surrounded by bandits while he watched from afar!

So ruthless!

”Do you really want them to survive?”

With a scowl, Chen Weiming said, ”This time, I must complete the mission and take the opportunity to eliminate this team that shames me! You must not let this leak, now go!”

”Understood, sir...”

Yang Bo took a deep breath, knowing Qin Tian and his team were doomed tonight, yet he was helplessly forced to be Chen Weiming’s minion, personally pushing Qin Tian’s team into the abyss!
